Family patriarch Preston Thorne is forced to return to the earthly plane when the Otherworld is invaded by evil magic. And he’s not happy about it. He’s finally met the woman of his dreams and was certain he was only one roguish smile away from luring Selene Barringer into his arms—or better yet, his bed. Now, the new existence he’s built is threatened and his afterlife is turned upside down. Or rather, right side out, because suddenly he’s back in the land of the living with Selene by his side. In danger of losing all he holds dear, Preston is in for the fight of his life, and pacts with old enemies need to be made to battle the greatest Evil of all.
